Chapter 729: Stunned by the Italians (4)

"We hit it, and it sank."

Seeing the dazzling fire erupting from the battleship "Paris Commune" in the distance, the hull of the ship broke into two and sank rapidly, and the bridge of the battleship "Bismarck" erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

After the start of the war, the battleship "Bismarck" naturally targeted the largest "Paris Commune", and the four twin 380-mm main guns successively hit the bow main gun and the starboard hull of the "Paris Commune" one after another, until a fatal armor-piercing shell pierced the Y turret of the "Paris Commune" and detonated the ammunition in the turret, which then triggered a fatal explosion.

Rear Admiral Ohm, the commander of the fleet, put down his binoculars, turned his head and said to Colonel Otto Lindemann, commander of the battleship "Bismarck": "An explosion of this magnitude should be the detonation of the ammunition depot, and its luck is too bad. ”

"It's not that he's unlucky, it's that we're strong." Colonel Lindemann shook his head with a pair of provocative ears, and then gave the order: "The next target, that guy should be a cruiser." The order was given to the A and C turrets to be reloaded with high-explosive shells, and the B and D turrets continued to use armor-piercing shells, firing at it and sending it to the 'Paris Commune'. ”

Having lost the "Paris Commune" as its preferred target, the "Bismarck" immediately switched its target to another battleship that could be seen in the field of vision, the heavy cruiser "Molotov".

The battleship "Paris Commune" had sunk, the "Bismarck" had just changed its target, and the main guns had not yet finished adjusting the new firing parameters, when Rear Admiral Ohm's telescope suddenly saw that in the middle and front of a large battleship in the Black Sea Fleet in the distance, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the position of the bridge, and the tall watchtower and the bridge part were like toppled building blocks, breaking and collapsing, and smashing heavily into the hull.

The destruction of the bridge of a battleship is equivalent to a person's head being smashed, and the battleship is finished, which can basically be called a "zombie ship".

It had just been determined that one of the enemy's warships had been beaten into a "zombie" state, and the roar of the main guns in the bow of the "Bismarck" attracted the attention of Rear Admiral Ohm.

After killing that battleship, the capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet should be all finished, and the following is the "garbage time" of a naval battle, see if you can try your luck and capture a few light warships of the other side.

I don't know what the reason is, but Rear Admiral Ohm suddenly thought of the battleship "Paris Commune" that had just sunk.

Before the battleship sank, if I read it correctly, the hull seemed to have tilted heavily to the left.

This situation is very unreasonable, it should be facing its own fleet on the starboard side, what kind of injury could have caused it to be injured on the port side, so that it has a serious tilt to the left side?

With a question mark in his head, Major General Ohm turned his gaze to the battlefield.

In the distance, on the port side of the heavy cruiser "Molotov" of the Black Sea Fleet, Major Kurbsky took Vice Admiral Okgabrisky in his arms and let the upper body of the Vice Admiral rest on his left shoulder.

Avoiding the whirlpool created by the sinking of the battleship "Paris Commune", the lifeboats rowed all the way to their nearest battleship, the heavy cruiser "Voroshilov".

However, less than 200 meters away from the lifeboat, Major Kurbsky saw a blaze burst from the lower part of the bridge in the front position of the middle of the heavy cruiser "Voroshilov", and the bridge and mast, as well as the observation tower above, collapsed and fell onto the battleship.

Damn, it was hit.

Sensing the tragic situation of the heavy cruiser "Voroshilov", the lifeboat hurriedly changed direction and sailed towards another battleship, the heavy cruiser "Molotov", which passed from the sea in front of the left.

In front of them, there was also a lifeboat that was also rowing towards the "Molotov".

The two lifeboats, so to speak, were in a panic, completely ignoring the fact that the heavy cruiser "Molotov" was in combat condition.

The crew of the lifeboat kept waving and shouting, hoping that the "Molotov" would stop and save them.

Without warning, a strong wind fell from the sky, and a tall white wave suddenly rushed out of the dark sea.

The white spray instantly swallowed the lifeboat rowing in front, and the same tall white spray appeared on both sides of the hull of the heavy cruiser "Molotov".

A burst of fire erupted from the boiler compartment in the middle of the battleship, and the No. 2 chimney was torn apart by the fire and thrown to the surface.

The boiler compartment was hit, and the ship's speed plummeted.

Major Kurbsky frowned, the battleship was targeted by enemy battleships and could not get close.

Damn, where exactly should I send the commander?

"There's a boat in the back, and a boat in the back is approaching."

The shouts came, and Major Kurbsky hurriedly turned to look behind him, and saw a battleship rushing out of the darkness and approaching them at high speed.

"Save us, save us ······" Some sailors shouted waving their arms.

Major Kurbsky, however, stared closely at the bow of the battleship, and several rays of fire pierced through the dim light on the bow to catch his attention.

Who is it? Who is it firing at?

Major Kurbsky looked back at the heavy cruiser Molotov in the distance and saw that the Molotov was bursting into waves at the waterline on its port side.

It is firing at the "Molotov", it is the enemy.

As if to verify Major Kurbsky's guess, a string of torpedoes was fired from the bow of that battleship.

Seeing the torpedo dragging white spray across the sea in front of them, the sailors on the lifeboat collectively shut up.

"Get out of the ······" Major Kurbsky shouted.

However, the heavy cruiser "Molotov", which was seriously injured in the boiler room and seriously stalled, was no longer able to make evasive actions, and was hit by two torpedoes in a row, the hull of several thousand tons was thrown by the explosion, the entire port side was almost torpedoed apart, and countless broken parts and steel fragments flew into the sky, and then fell to the sea like dumplings.

"Molotov" is finished, where should we go?

Major Kurbsky lamented in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow passing by.

Vaguely seeing the red, white and green tricolor flags flying high on the battleship, Major Kurbsky was momentarily stunned.

Are the Germans or the Italians at war with us?

Could it be ······ Are we being flanked by the German and Italian fleets?

When Major Kurbsky's brain was in a state of confusion, cheers erupted from the bridge of the battleship "Bismarck": "Great, we sank it." ”

Almost at the same time, the jubilant voice of Lieutenant Commander Russo was heard from the bridge of the light cruiser "Sipione Affricano".

"Great, we've sunk another one."
